Feluccas are simple sailboat based on a traditional design and have plied the mighty Nile since ancient times. Our feluccas are proudly owned and crewed by friendly local sailors. they are a wind-powered craft with no motor, so are dependent upon the wind to travel. The itinerary is not rigidly defined, for this reason. However, during our cruise, we make plenty of stops to visit points of interest, areas for swimming and for the purpose of performing our ablutions. The felucca sails during the day, and prior to sundown, the anchor is dropped and we moor at the riverside for the night. The craft carries between 5-10 passengers comfortably and the deck is strewn with soft colorful cushions and rugs and equipped with a canopy that offers shade and protection from the elements. Accommodation is on the deck itself. Nothing beats the experience of sleeping under a blanket of stars, though you will need to bring sleeping bag with you. really sailing by felucca is a great experience with nice fun.
